Ongoing delivery problems in Edinburgh (UK)

Postwatch Scotland published the results of a second study of the delivery service residents in EH3 are experiencing. This follows a study undertaken in 2006 which revealed considerable problems in the area, after which Royal Mail promised to introduce a number of improvements, including having more regular delivery officers on the routes.

One in five has suffered lost post, while 17 per cent have had letters and parcels delayed, according to a survey by Postwatch Scotland. It said the results in the EH3 postcode area, which includes Edinburgh’s New Town, were “symptomatic of the problems Royal Mail has in delivering to the whole of Scotland”.

In 2006, Postwatch Scotland carried out a study of more than 400 addresses which showed seven out of ten had experienced misdelivery, more than half had received mail for entirely different addresses and one in three had been given post that was meant for neighbours in the same building.

The study covers delivery experiences between 2nd January and 31st March 2008
